Abstract

Background: I- IHand Igrip Istrength Iis Ialways Iconsider Ias Ian Ioverall Iindicator I Iof Iphysical Istrength, Imuscle Iperformance, Ifunctional Iindex Iof Inutritional Istatus, Ibone Imineral Icontent, Ifunctional Iintegrity Iof Iupper Iextremity Iof Ihand Iand Iforearm Imusculature. I I. IIt Iis Ijudged Ias Ione Iof Ithe Imajor Ireliable Itool Iused Iin Iclinical Isetting Ifor Iestimating Ihand-grip Istrength. I IIAs Ia Iphysiological Ivariable Iit Ican Ibe Iinfluenced Iby Ia Inumber Iof Ifactors Isuch Ias Iage, Igender, Iheight, I Iweight I Iand Ivarious Ianthropometric I Itraits. Objective: I- IThe Iobjective Iof Ipresent Istudy Iwas Ito Imeasure I I Ithe Idominant Ihandgrip Istrength Iwith Imodified Isphygmomanometer Iand Iits Iassociation Iwith Iseveral I Ianthropometric Imeasurements Iof Ihand Iand Iforearm Iin I60 Iselected Ibasketball Iand Ivolleyball Iplayers Iof Iaged I15-20 Iyears I(mean Iage I16.1667+1.3298) Ifrom Ithree Idifferent Iresearch Isettings Iin IUttarakhand, IIndia. Method: I- IFour Ianthropometric Ivariables, Ii.e. Iheight, Iweight, IBMI, Ibody Ifat Ipercentage, I6 Ihand Ianthropometric Ivariables, Ii.e. Ihand Isize, Ihand Ilength, Ipalm Ilength, Ipalm Iwidth, Ihand Ishape, Imiddle Ifinger Ilength, I15 Ihand Idimensions I(TL, IIFL, IMFL, IRFL, ILFL, IFS1, IFS2, IFS3, IFS4, IFS5, IP1, IP2, IP3, IP4, IP5), IWrist Icircumference, Itwo Iforearm Ianthropometric Ivariables, Ii.e. Iforearm Ilength, Iforearm Icircumference Iand Ihandgrip Istrength Iof Idominant Iand Inon Idominant Iwere Imeasured Iin Ibasketball I& Ivolleyball Iplayers Iby Istandard Ianthropometric Itechniques. Main IOutcome IMeasures: I- IHandgrip Istrength Iwas Imeasured Iby IModified ISphygmomanometer.
